I think my past due fine should be taken care of because of givinh this review. Oh and awhile back I was in bathroom which is now real open to the general library no physical door to either men or women's testrooms. Anyway me and a much younger girls fishies up with washing out hands etc and in came a male janitor to empty the garbage. He nev re introduce self or said "cleaning" nothing. Very awkward and definitely needs to start announcing self befire going into and public restroom I want to say working as janitor or not, wth , right?!?

When I asked her about said miscreant, she informed me that "he just does that". Like rules don't apply to him because he's a walking fossil. Forget about students trying to study or people trying to concentrate and work, or even PEOPLE TRYING TO READ. IN A LIBRARY. Absolutely ridiculous. Shame on your staff.

Many decades ago I spent countless hours in the stacks of books in the Winona Public Library. It…read morewas a refuge at first and then became an inspiration that's followed me my entire life. I became a writer - first a journalist and then an author. The solace and opportunity I found in this beautiful, historic library taught me the world is wide and possibility abounds.

Never a 'dull' moment here!…read more Today I took refuge from the humid summer heat at the library, with hopes of finding a good read and maybe a nook at which to read. But I was pleasantly surprised when these hopes were not only fulfilled but were well surpassed. In addition to a few books to check out, I brought two dull, good-for-nothing pencils to the librarian at the counter and asked if they had a pencil sharpener I could use. Not only did the library have a sharpener, but the librarian did the sharpening deed for me! She kindly took my pencil offering and spent a few quick moments with the machine. Soon after, she presented me with two PERFECTLY sharpened pencils, ready to scrawl the finest-point script on the nearest slice of paper. It had honestly been months since I'd seen these pencils looking so fine. I feel like a new man. I wasn't charged for the books I checked out, nor for the express pencil-sharpening service I received! 5 stars, will come again. Highly recommended.

Since, I have returned back to my hometown of St. Charles, MN, I have visited the city's public…read morelibrary a couple of times recently. Looking back, I can recall going there as a young child, to include spending time with my two best friends from junior high screwing around and trying not laugh to loud. First off, I was amazed at the renovation that was strewn upon the original building, especially the expansion. The new addition definitely makes a lasting impression on any onlookers. In addition, they have also included a conference room, which anyone can reserve. The place is clean, well organized, and in immaculate condition. There are gender specific restrooms that are very clean. There are also public computers to utilize. One can print there, but it costs 15 cents, per sheet of paper. There's a children's section, with tables for them to read. Parking is ample and there is also handicapped parking too. One must have a library card in order to access the amenities there. This library does have summer & fall/winter hours. I'm very happy to see my hometown put a valid investment into this library, and more importantly, into the people of St. Charles.
